Yosemite and More

This is Lower Falls on the McCloud River. My brother, Jim, friend Bill and I took in the first day of fishing season below this spot, an area I probably wouldn't take my good camera. While the fishing wasn't that great the area offers it's own rewards in the scenery, and of course good friendship is an even better reward than catching fish! Go, See, Enjoy

While standing in the snow waiting for the sun to set on Mt. Shasta I turned to the east and........... With the clean air and mountains of Northern California colorful sunsets aren't as frequent as in the Valley. I was privileged to witness this one while my feet were freezing.  Go, See, Enjoy!

I never quite understood why they don't call it moss springs, since there aren't very many ferns around. They are doing some habitat rehabilitation so maybe someday........ When taking this photo I tried to balance the moss covered rocks on the top with those on the bottom and divide the photograph with the layers of falls. Go, See, Enjoy!

I've been to Fern Springs in Yosemite Valley a number of times but was never happy with the photographs I took. Yesterday I took a couple I'm finally happy with. Come on back,  I'll post the other one later this week. Go, See, Enjoy!

I took a quick trip out to the Merced Wildlife Refuge after work today and was treated to this beautiful sunset. There weren't many bird in the Refuge, but that was OK. Go, See, Enjoy

Sometimes you don't have to go too far. This was taken in my front yard this afternoon.   Stay, See, Enjoy!
